Chapter 109 Eternal Elegy (43,000)

In the history of China, many people cannot avoid it. ⊙

There is a group called Heroes.

These people are both good and evil, have ambition, courage and means.

Cao Cao is a hero, and Zhao Hao never doubts it.

But Zhao Hao never thought about using Cao Cao.

The troubled times of the Three Kingdoms are inseparable from Cao Cao.

Just as Cao Cao said before his death, if there were no one in the world, there would be no one in the world who would be emperor or king.

Although Cao Cao died not too late, he played an irreplaceable role in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

For most people in the north, Cao Cao was a patron saint.

In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao died of illness at the age of 66 in Luoyang. Even though it was not perfect, it was already legendary enough.

Zhao Hao had no intention of changing Cao Cao's fate.

But after Cao Cao, there was another person who was similar to his experience.

He was also a despicable family, but he ended up surging north and arrogant.

The difference is that he did not have Cao Cao's military talent and political wisdom, nor did he have the strong counselors and generals under Cao Cao, but he was facing a more difficult situation than Cao Cao at that time.

So Cao Cao only left some regrets, but his life was a sad song.

Ran Min, an eternal legend, a doomed tragedy.

Later generations often despised the Song Dynasty and named it "weak Song".

It was indeed not unfair to obtain this title in the Song Dynasty.

However, in ancient Chinese history, there was a dynasty that was more despised than the Song Dynasty.

The Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family.

No matter how weak the Song Dynasty was, at least the winning rate of foreign wars was 70%.

The Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the Western Xia Kingdom was destroyed, and Dali was destroyed, but the Song Dynasty was still there.

Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the economic level needed no more, and the culture was unprecedentedly brilliant.

The happiness index of the people of the Song Dynasty was actually not low in all dynasties.

However, the Jin Dynasty, which inherited the Three Kingdoms and led to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was left to future generations with only shame.

What is left to the people of the Central Plains at that time is also an eternal shame.

Even if the Song Dynasty perished, it would at least exert its own blood.

The death of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Yashan has never happened since ancient times and has never happened since.

The Jin Dynasty, the continuous mentally retarded emperors, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the external pressure of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms kicked off the first tragedy in the Central Plains.

The Central Plains was truly submerged under the iron hoof of a foreign race for the first time, and the era when the Han people were slaughtered and had no dignity began here.

The Five Barbarians invaded China.

But at this time, Cao Cao, who had once fought in Wuhuan, was no longer there, and the Cao Wei regime had been replaced by the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family.

How did the Jin Dynasty do in the face of the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China?

Well, the Jin Dynasty did not compromise, and the Jin Dynasty royal family made a heroic choice - migration.

Yes, migration.

The royal family of the Jin Dynasty, its supporters, and the gentry migrated to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

This is the origin of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This practice is very good, quite good, protecting more than half of the Han people in the Central Plains from massacre by the Hu people.

However, not all people are qualified and capable of moving south. Those Han people who are unable to move south can only continue to choose to stay in the north.

Without the protection of the imperial court and the suppression of the army, the fate of these people can be imagined in the face of those Hu people who are like wolves and tigers.

The northern land is filled with smoke from thousands of miles away, and there are no ten or two.

Historical records: "The north is desolate, with clothes moving south, Hu Di everywhere, and the Han family's children were almost slaughtered."

The population of Han people in the Central Plains suddenly dropped sharply to four or five million, and the number of Han people was even surpassed by the Hu people who moved in.

This is the so-called "national integration".

In this situation where race was almost cut off, the remaining Han refugees from the north rose up to resist. They either built fortresses or formed a rebel army and fought a desperate battle with the Hu army.

Courage is commendable, but reality is cruel.

These army of Han people who were not fed and covered in clothes did not pose any threat to the rule of the Hu people.

The consequence is just another round of massacre.

In this era, the first time the Han people really rose was because they stood up alone - Ran Min.

It is hard to say that Ran Min is a selfless fighter who devoted his life to liberating the Han people in the north.

The bigger reason is probably because Ran Min wants to replace him and achieve his own hegemony.

But no matter what he thinks, what he does and his contributions are real and no one can erase them.

The three killings of Hu Ling made the Han people of this era really stand up for the first time.

"The violent Hu bullies the Han family for decades, killing our people and taking over my ancestral temples. Now we are here to attack. Those who offend our great Han people will die and kill all the Hus in the world. Restore the foundation of the Han family, and all the Han people in the world have the obligation to slaughter Hu dogs. Ran Min was not talented and was ordered by heaven, so he made this announcement to the world."

Killing Hu Ling out, the Hu people were frightened.

Afterwards, the northern land was filled with smoke, but there was no longer only the wailings of the Han people.

The Han people and the Hu people "don't fight without a moon", and the corpses were everywhere.

Millions of Qingzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, Jingzhou and other places, Di, Qiang, Hu, and barbarians were powerless in the face of the bloody revenge of the Han people, so they had to move away from the Central Plains and return to their hometown. On the road of migration, those who starved to death, died of illness, killed each other, and killed seven or eighteen Hu people in the Central Plains. The Hu people were almost completely lost.

Under the direct or indirect influence of the "Killing Hu Order", millions of Hu civilians such as the Xiongnu, Qiang, Di and others were destroyed, and nearly one million Hu soldiers were killed. The Jie people who were slaughtered the most either migrated or slaughtered, and were basically extinct in the Central Plains.

This is a war of blood for blood. Unfortunately, this approach violates the universal values ​​of Confucianism and is even more unfavorable to the national stability that rulers of all dynasties want to maintain.

Therefore, most people in later generations did not hear of Ran Min's name.

Even the Jin Dynasty was just a symbol in many people's impression.

No one knows the vast sea of ​​blood behind these names.

Ran Min was eventually defeated and captured. The one who defeated him was Murong Fu's ancestor, Murong Ke.

As Zhao Hao said, Ran Min did not have Cao Cao's military talent, nor did he have the fierce general of the Gan Jian minister under Cao Cao's command.

What he can only rely on himself.

Ran Min once sent an envoy to report to the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Ting, saying: "The rebellious Hu people disrupted the Central Plains. Now I have decided to destroy them. If I can fight together, please send troops."

However, the Eastern Jin Dynasty ultimately did not reply and lost the opportunity to unify the world.

The second year after Ran Min's death, the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi's famous work is well known to everyone, but few people remember who Ran Min was.

A warrior with limited abilities has taken on heavy responsibilities far beyond his own ability.

From the beginning, this tragedy was destined.

This kind of tragedy is enough once.

Zhao Hao didn't want him to happen again.

This time, you will not be allowed to fight alone.
